Todd Rundgren and the Liars tour / New album


Has anyone else bought this album or seen the latest tour by TR promoting this album? I bought the album about a month ago and saw his latest show in Houston.

I believe this may be his best work in 30-years. (Don't let the silly album cover photo fool you.) Certainly much more listenable and certainly more soulful and filled with the Philly sound that he's capable of recording.

By the way...."What ever happened to the soul, brother?"

I've been off of T. R. ever since his pityful "Second Wind" album. Also that crappy work he did for the "Broadway musical" (almost as boring as Paul Simon's "Capeman" -also for Broadway).
I do love T. R. (and Utopia's) previous work.
"The Healer" -Love it
"Acapella" -Love it
"Swing to the Right" -Love it. Etc...
Guess we all tone down in the end (I give you E. Clapton, not to mention myself).
Todd DID burn bright, however. once-upon-a-time...
Phil: Sounds like you know your T.R. I'll have to check this out. As a footnote, I saw Todd at the Park West theater (Chicago) on New Year's Eve around 1990 (give-or-take). I bought tickets to both sets to get my fill of this great musician. He came out first set and played some less-than-hot licks. Nobody responded. He said something like "Hey! Why aren't you getting into it?" -like we were obligated to swoon over anything that came out of his amp!
Someone in the audience (i.e. me) said "Get down!".
He eventually did but I couldn't tell if he was testing us or was just on a huge ego trip.
This guy can really play hot guitar when he's in the mood.
